Hey let me me introduce to my self I am 19 year old guy.who love bike riding. On a fine day I buyed R15 black. I got fz 16 rear tyre to it.first when I saw the bike I loved the wonderful looks of the bike.i know this was the bike was going to own.


On the first day I drove the bike.Everything was tricky.the seating, handling.shifting gears.breaking.On the second day I got hold of it quickly.it has a superb braking system.Near miss on my second day.i did not notice there was dead end 40 to


50 feet from after touching 100kph.the brakes worked superbly that was I hell of braking system on r15.Gears were very tricky I was not able neutral it but I learned it quickly.Seating position was not at all nice for few days.after sometime I got used


to it.if u know how it sit on r15 while riding the air just never touches u it just fly's over u.i love the clutch given to it .it is very useful in curves when u turn it.i usually take the curves over 50kph.if it is L shaped curve.i used take it 25kph.the r15 has better


grip over the road it never used skid over roads.but when there is sand on the road bike used to skid and in rainy season the bike never used to skid even at 60 to 70 kph.it has superb looks when I go on road everyone used to notice me which feels great.i drove


the bike 1000kilometres in just 20days.when I went service center.


He said The bike was doing gr8 and your driving it wonderfully.i love the rear disc brake which never skids at high speeds.i used to get wrist and back pains after driving it for 2hours.but I got adjusted to it.one of my friend helped me on that


don.t try put your weight on the handle bars and right to sit with straight back and try to sit as back as u can to avoid air coming on to you at high speeds.the monocross suspension I live in Hyderabad this city has one hell of roads the roads are


with lots of stupid cracks, bumps and other stuff .but my bike used perform gr8 on this roads.it's mileage not good for an daily commuter .But for people who want sheer power with out comprising on anything at low cost, one of it's kind .it leaves the dream


of knowing a super bike.then pass switch give to it on the left hand side near clutch is very useful at overtaking .when overtaking the vehicle coming in front can understand you are overtaking .if it's in old style u have to be at risk.it's given a reasonable weight so it


can hold up on high speeds with out bouncing of the road.the weight keeps it in place .It has to have the side mirrors if any one has taken the side mirrors .get it back on they very useful take my advice guys.Don't ever try to lean right or left on the bike when your taking curve .


the Bike does skid of the road be careful at high speeds . the things where I don't like the bike is after reaching 50 in no time it takes bit of time reach 100kph .On my opinion the bike has to 50 to 100 kph in no time .which better for overtaking on highways and one ways roads.


As per my opinion if the bikes falls or skids of the bike repairing is very costly.


overall:


I love the bike people who need sports bikes this is the thing to go with.u can buy it your eyes closed


One very bad thing for the r15.


It has the stupid dome for bike of this kind has to have which not good inform to hold an accident .it cost me 10, 000rupees when a car hit the bike in parking lot.


Tips:


Guys this bike skids when you unnecessarily brake it hard.


tip for Yamaha.


please improve the quality of the dome .and please give the front disc brake on the left this will well support the bike without skidding to left side.


Reason for this is I like to drift a lot so I used drift it around red sand surfaces near my area so when I brake the bike used skid to the left side.


Conclusion:


Best of it's class


sorry guys I am 19 year old there was a mistake
